The problem starts long before AI takes the jobs. I used to do a job that was eventually automated. We did the one and only thing the computer couldn’t do - again and again in a very mechanical fashion. It was a shit job. You might get promoted to supervisor - but that was like being a supervisor at McDonalds. Why not treat the job seriously? Why didn’t the company use it as a way to recruit talent? Why didn’t the workers unionize? Because we all knew it would be automated anyway. We were treated like robots, and we treated the org like it was run by robots. There’s a huge shadow over the economy that treats most new jobs like shit jobs.
